Abstract:		 The development area was evaluated by means of 90m of trial trenching (two 30m x 1.8m trenches and two 15m x 1.8m trenches). This work was carried out in accordance with the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists Standard and guidance for field evaluation (2020). The evaluation was able to confirm that the linear anomalies reported in the geophysical survey relate to sub-surface archaeological features. These appear to relate to a Roman period bounded field system. There is some suggestion that a contemporary settlement lies to the east. The pottery assemblage was not large, but all the features yielded some pottery, predominantly from the 4th century AD. The occurrence of cattle bones in the features may reflect the dominance of cattle farming in the later Roman period. Evidence for ridge and furrow cultivation across most of the site illustrates the continued agricultural use during the late medieval or post medieval period.
